Additional Information

The snowblower engine crankcase cover gasket, part number 951-11374, sits between the crankcase cover and the engine block to create a tight seal. It helps keep engine oil contained while maintaining proper internal pressure during operation.

You might notice oil seeping from the crankcase area, damp buildup around the cover, or a burning oil smell after use. Another indication can be low oil levels that return shortly after refilling, pointing to a compromised seal.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Oil may be present when removing the crankcase cover, and nearby metal edges can be sharp, so work gloves can help protect your hands. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and position the gasket evenly before tightening fasteners to specification, then reconnect the spark plug wire.
